The Benevolent

The Benevolent is the trade charity that provides help and support to current and former employees of the drinks industry and their families. The Benevolent is the only charity that supports employees, or former employees, from every area of the UK drinks industry providing practical, emotional and financial help. The charity supports our colleagues facing a variety of difficult circumstances, including serious illness, disability, issues with stress or depression, with debt or any family crisis such as a seriously ill partner or child. To be eligible for support you must have spent at least 2 years in the drinks industry, which means that if your role involves producing, selling, marketing, serving, sourcing, or any job involving alcohol drinks brands in the on-trade or off-trade or support sectors of the UK market, then The Benevolent is 'Here to Help' you or your family.
